Social media buttons and OTTs

Sharing Widgets

Widgets from the social networks Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as from the OTTs WhatsApp and Viber, are used on our website. With the typical use of social network widgets on websites that allow the sharing or acquisition of content, data from visitors to these websites is transmitted to the respective social network (e.g. Facebook, Google, Twitter) if the visitor has clicked the button of the respective social network or is logged in as a user to the social network. For the processing carried out through this website by these social networks, TAKE A STAND acts as Joint Controller. For any subsequent processing, the social networks act as Independent Controllers.
